If this is a Windows password, then you will need to enter safe mode at start up by pressing F8. Once you're in safe mode, log on as administrator, from here you can clear any user passwords. Now if this is a bios password, then you will need to contact Compaq support.

You need to take or send the laptop to a Toshiba Service Center to have the password erased. You may have to prove ownership of the machine. You may also be charged for the service if the laptop is no longer under warranty.

To prevent and secure anyone from accessing your laptop, you can place a Power On Password on your laptop. This Power On Password comes up as soon as you switch on your laptop and won't allow access any access unless the correct password is entered. There are no backdoor passwords to bypass the Power On password to get into your laptop. You can also place a hard disk password on your laptop and this will prevent anyone from accessing the data on your hard disk, even if they install the hard disk into another computer. There are no backdoor password to bypass the hard disk password.You may also enable a BIOS password to prevent anyone from changing your BIOS settings.These passwords are configured in the laptop's BIOS under Security settings.Once you create these passwords, I suggest you write down these passwords and place them in a safe place should you need need them.
